2024 Ford Ranger vs 2024 Chevy Colorado: Power or Reliability? 

Babe, wake up! Ben Hardy is comparing mid-size pickup trucks. (I’m single AF & can’t afford full size trucks)

I'd get either of them over the new Tacoma.

Ben it'd be nice if you could have a final wrap up thought rather than what seems like the camera stopped recording.

I test drove a Ranger XLT FX4 and a Colorado Z71 back to back this past weekend and came away liking the Colorado more because of the interior and the screen layout. Test drove the Ranger first as it was my pre-drive favorite due to the back seat space (I’m 6-3). But (perhaps also because I’m tall) not having to look down at the vertical screen seemed so much more natural to me in the Colorado. Never having owned a vehicle with screens, I was surprised that I felt that strongly about the layout. Apologies to my taller passengers, but driver preferences come first 😂.

I like the process you use to review vehicles! Nicely done!💯

So Ben, what would be your peroson mid-size pickup choice?

Not Ben Gaslighting me into thinking I didn't already see this lmao

So which one is power and reliability?

I've been looking at both the Ranger and Colorado, and am a bit hesitant on both. Two of my brothers had the 2019 Ford Ranger with the 10 speed transmission, and the transmission went wonky for each of them. My son in law has the 2023 Colorado, and has had issues with the blind spot indicator blinking at random times with no vehicle beside him. His infotainment system is pretty glitchy as well. I've read the 2024 Colorados have intermittent headlight blinking issues...so I'm really not sure which I'll end up with. (Not interested in either the Tacoma or Frontier).

I know you said the new Colorado engine isn't entirely proven yet, but I'd honestly prefer the Colorado over the Ranger for both overall reliability, the screen not being downward and huge, and the pricing in my area is a bit different (Ford dealership has worse prices than the Chevy lot). Aesthetically I will admit personal taste here, but the look of the Colorado (both inside and out) appeals to me more. If I can find a good used Colorado or get a great deal on a new one, I'll take that over Ford any day.

The 2.7 has been out in the silverado for years

I love my Colorado trailboss. Great trucks.

I work for a Chevrolet dealer and the main problem i see coming from the new Colorados that have the high output tuning is that its blowing the turbos at around 1000 miles, im not sure if Chevy has fixed that issue yet

Yeah I really like them both but I’d have to go with Colorado. It’s sharper lines and just interior and exterior aesthetics is just excellent. When you see one in person even the cheap basic models look great. I’m a Toyota lover but those new 2024 Tacomas are for rich folks, doctors and lawyers and such.

Which one do you like the best?!

Não sei essa geração, mas a geração anterior no Brasil era maior quê a vendida aí no EUA .(Ranger).

The ranger costs alot more...vs the Colorado... The Colorado also has way more features... if you want the 2.7 "baby 6..."in the ranger they up charge for that just to get on par with the Colorado hp...

My last Ford was an 86 Ranger. Since then, I've had a Toyota with a rusted out frame and broken leaf springs and no intermittent wipers. And then the biggest POS 2016 Colorado with a motor that blew up at 102k and needs constant repairs. I think I might go back to Ford, I honestly don't think they could be worse at this point.

Idk how anyone can tell driving 45 feet I noticed a lot at 65-85mph and by actually hitting speed bumps

Hold up. When comparing back seat space... for the Ford you had the driver and passenger seats flush and in line with he center console. For the Colorado, you can tell the driver seat was further back than the passenger and was not flush with the center console. Sure to feel a little more spacious with that 2-3" inches if you do it the same.

Dang $47,000 for little body truck. I’d rather get a full size.

When is the 2.7 ranger coming out

I like Chevrolet colorado cute Mize truck

Ford still got a key fob?

What do you mean? That engine has been out in the Silverado for years

Could you get a Silverado custom in a 8 cylinder

I like them both. But I will not pay that much and be stuck with an old fashion key. So no to the Ford

Gm for me

The GM 8spd has been a problem forever in the old C7 Corvette and all GM trucks and SUVs..

Chevy Colorado 👍🏽

Is there money back guaranteed if the new car buying method from you doesn’t work?

The ranger has less torque on paper but yet the Ranger beat the Colorado's ass when they raced from a dead stop on tfl. What does that tell you about torque?

Does anyone even like the new ford screen? That the one thing I hate it look weird/ugly

👍👍👍

In today's what?

Reliability goes to.... neither, because they're stupid turbos.
